Egypt implements new decree on textile and clothing import testing and inspection
Recently, we learned from the industry that Egypt has recently promulgated a new decree on testing and inspection procedures for imported textiles and clothing. The decree came into effect on June 15 this year and applies to imported clothing, linen textiles, yarn, carpets, floor coverings and home textiles.
It is understood that after the implementation of the new regulations, textiles and clothing imported into Egypt must submit an inspection certificate issued by an accredited inspection company. The submitted materials should include the quantity, value, country of manufacture, factory name and address, exporter’s licensed trademark, etc. In addition, a laboratory report must be included as evidence to prove that the goods comply with Egyptian quality standards and regulations. The new decree bans the import of clothing containing carcinogenic dyes, harmful dyes, flame retardants and cadmium.
In addition, the decree limits the formaldehyde content in baby clothing to 20PPM (parts per million), the formaldehyde content in clothing that directly contacts the skin to 75PPM, and the formaldehyde content in clothing that has zero contact with the skin to 300PPM.
